I have an XR that I've put about 1200 miles on. Absolutely no problems, but I agree with you that there should be a built in safety in the event of a nosedive. That's why I spent $100 to buy the Glider front wheels. I know some people view them as "training wheels", but I figure we are dealing with circuits and electricity and those types of things Can fail. At least with the wheels I have a chance of saving it. I just don't want to end up in the hospital with a broken arm because of pride. I feel good about having a safety device on my board. I don't know why OneWheel wouldn't build in front wheels. What if a board fails, a kid hits his head and dies and the family sues OneWheel for $50 Miliion? Does that sound impossible? I don't know. If I built a company and invested time and money and employed people, wouldn't it be wise to try and protect all of that with a safety feature? Just my opinion.

RE: Custom Laser Cut Grip Tape
@tomfoolery I can go very intricate, but these do need to be pieced together. My concern is if something is to thin, it may peel off easier. I haven't tried anything too thin yet. Gotta do some testing.

RE: Custom Laser Cut Grip Tape
@tomfoolery cool logo. I could do that, the logo would work well. When I get back in town, I can play around with that. Cheers.

RE: Custom Laser Cut Grip Tape
@Coeurmasque that's an interesting idea. Not exactly sure how that would go, but the whole idea of balance and something on one side of board and the opposite on the other side, sounds like a cool design concept. I'll look further into that. Thanks

Custom Laser Cut Grip Tape
Hey check out the custom laser cut grip tape I made for my OW+ XR. They are grippy and I'm looking forward to coming up with some more designs. What would you guys like to see? Marijuana leaves? Flames? Animal Related? I like the Ying Yang because of the Balance aspect. I think it works.
